not currently; well, at least not easily :)

QGraphicsScene does provide QGraphicsItem * QGraphicsScene::focusItem(), and 
you could determine from that what has focus (by going up the object chain 
until you hit a Plasma::Applet). that's rather ugly though :)

what might also work is to make the keyboard switcher accept keyboard focus 
and then when the desktop window becomes active you can check if the switcher 
has focus or not and decide on that. this raises the issue of multiple 
keyboard switchers. using focusItem() might be easier.
